- hwijaya 18y agoMy opinion. 1. Most professional investors are overwhelmed by proposals. Not lack of it. 2. Even on seed level, i'm not sure if i want to invest in a company through social network. I would prefer something more personal if i want to pick a company. And, referral often is the key to that. If you can't connect yourself up to the investors, i would say, you haven't tried hard enough. 3. As an entrepreneur, i don't think i feel comfortable to expose everything that i have in the arsenal to the social network (especially strategy etc). It's one thing to be paranoid, it's another to be totally open-source! But, if you don't do that, how can investors pick you over the other through that massive companies in the social-networks? It's still a nice try though. Would like to see how it goes.

- Alex3917 18y agoAdvice: Make it do one thing well before you ad a job search and all this other stuff. I don't think I'd use this for a serious business, but I might use it if I needed 10,000 for some little project.
